Schiff: Impeachment may be 'only remedy' to whistleblower report
United Press International ^ | September 22, 2019 | Daniel Uria

Posted on 09/22/2019 11:03:55 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that impeachment may be "the only remedy" as President Donald Trump confirmed he discussed former Vice President Joe Biden and corruption with Ukraine's president.

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Schiff said he has been reluctant to join calls to impeach the president, but said the phone call would potentially be "the most profound violation of the presidential oath of office," during this or any other presidency.

A whistleblower complaint submitted to the Intelligence Community Inspector General stated that Trump pressured new Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden's son, Hunter Biden, during a July 25 phone call.

"If the president is essentially withholding military aid at the same time that he is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit that is providing dirt on his opponent during a presidential campaign, then that may be the only remedy that is coequal to the evil that conduct represents," he said.

Schiff was talking about impeachment before Trump won the nomination.

They couldn’t impeach him the first time because there was no crime, so they’re going to attempt to impeach him a second time over another non-existent crime. Typical Democrat insanity.

Schiff is just a one note pony requiring a scoop shovel and wheel barrow clown team.

I swear the Drudge Report has become the new MSNBC with this silliness. Now the story is that Trump “colluded” with Ukraine.

As president Trump had every right to mention Biden’s corruption to Ukrainian leaders.

Wouldn’t it have been Biden who colluded or extorted the Ukrainians?

Democrats have no right to keep their foreign corruption hidden.

Hilarious to read about Trump supposedly withholding aid, when Biden boasted that he threatened to deny them $1 billion unless they fired his son’s prosecutor!

Three lies in the same sentence, and not just teeny little white lies either. And speaking of profound violations of oaths of office, who made you overseer of office oaths?

Lighten up Schiffty. You ‘RATs are setting the next ‘RAT president to catch hell from Americans. You might want to keep your big commie mouth shut for a while, Skippy. Why don’t you go back to hunting down Russkis again for a while. Make yourself useful.

Ukraine as a reason?

Should anyone be in earshot, ask Schiff how old she was. 18? 19?

Well, this it’s event plus the information you have claimed to possess but, for reason have failed to produce, should be enough to do end the Presidency of Donald Trump, don’t you think?

Come on! Let’s see the evidence!

I don’t want no law breaker in the White House...

I didn’t like Clinton and Obama’s law breaking much either. 👎

What’s it take to impeach according to the constitution?

High crimes and media rumors?

Sounds about right.
